PublishPress Capabilities – Users Being Able to Access to Media Translation Section

Overview of the Issue

If you remove the wpml_manage_media_translation capability with Publishpress Capabilities plugin, you will notice that users are still able to access the WPML Media Translation section.

Workaround

Update WPML to the latest version. Users who are not allowed to manage translations no longer reach the Media Translation screen.

If you cannot update yet:

• Open your theme’s function.php file.
• Add the following code:

  // WPML Workaround for compsupp-7344
  function wpml_compsupp7344_disable_wpml_media_translation_menu() {
      // Check if the current user lacks the required capability
      if (! current_user_can('wpml_manage_media_translation')) {
          // Remove the WPML Media Translation menu
  		remove_submenu_page( 'tm/menu/main.php', 'wpml-media' );
      }
  }
  
  add_action('admin_init', 'wpml_compsupp7344_disable_wpml_media_translation_menu');
